Obama White House employees owe $800,000 in back taxes
Gee...Obama's team was all supposed to be about the little guy and snaring every single dollar they can from Americans to fund their social engineering dreams and delusions. Not only did they have problems with their appointees paying taxes (led by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who finally paid up because of the Senatorial confirmation process; but also including former Senator Tom Daschle who was forced to bow out with his tail between his legs for his tax cheating) but Obama's appointed aides, who don't need Senate confirmation, are scofflaws, too.
Are they a different caste? Are taxes for little people?
The Los Angeles Times reports :
But we do know that as of the end of 2009, 41 people inside Obama's very own White House owe the government they're allegedly running a total of $831,055 in back taxes
Why stop there?

In the House of Representatives, 421 people owe a total $6,524,892. In the Senate, 217 owe $2,774,836. In the IRS's parent department, Treasury, 1,204 owe $7,670,814. At the Labor Dept., where Secy. Hilda Solis' husband had some backtax problems before her confirmation, 463 owe $7,481,463. Eighty-one workers for the Federal Reserve System's board of governors owe $1,076,733.
Over at the Justice Department, which is so busy enforcing other laws and suing Arizona, 1,971 employees still owe $14,350,152 in overdue taxes.
Then, we come to the Department of Homeland Security, which is run by Janet Napolitano, the former governor of Arizona who preferred to call terrorist acts "man-caused disasters." Homeland Security is keeping all of us safe by ensuring that a Dutch tourist is onboard every inbound international flight to thwart any would-be bomber with explosives in his underpants.
Within that department, there reside 4,856 people who owe the tax agency a whopping total of $37,012,174.
And they're checking our pockets for metal and coins?
All told, federal employees across the nation owe $1 billion in back taxes. Congressman Jason Chaffetz ( R-Utah) wants all these people fired unless they pay up and stay on the straight and narrow. Sounds like the housecleaning should begin at the top - in the White House where, for once, Barack Obama can show some sense of ethics. Maybe Nancy Pelosi can clean the swamp of scofflaws who take our heard-earned taxpayer dollars but don't follow the rules themselves: who take but who do not give.
